This is basically a legalised version of an age of Cosa Nostra (Sicilian mafia), Mafioso scam. A more modern example would be the Manchester gangs protection rackets in the 1980s; siphoning the inventory off from a legitimate business they are 'protecting' from other gangs until the business has nothing left to sell or trade & goes bankrupt.
The owner funnels the money / profit from merchandise & player sales into MASH holdings whilst the club accounts are constantly in arrears leading to MASH or the owner needing to 'inject' funds to keep the club afloat.
What a Philanthropist.
The need for the tax man, ethics committee (if there is such a thing in Football / Premier League / FA) to investigate the manner in which the club is run could not be more pressing!
